Hi guys what would you recommend?
Ive heard good things about XO where there not much orange peel.
But I want to know if there are other good products.
What the good thing I heard about sgp flex is that there's 2.
Also is there much orange peel on the sgp?
Could you also post pics?

I slapped a SGP flex on my nexus on day 1, and after a bad first install, have been happy with it ever since (comes 2 per purchase).
There is a minor peel effect, it doesn't bug me in the slightest personally. Never visible at all with screen on, and feels perfectly smooth. Clarity is very good as well.
I took a few pics trying to show the peel, with very limited success on camera.

The peel you're talking about, is the at the bottom or the top?
Because when it peels at the top Its gonna annoy me and im gonna start peeling it off.

If you mean by peel the edges peeling, there isn't any at all. The orange peel thing where it looks a bit odd in certain angles of light with screen off..pretty uniformly covers the entire protector. But I can't feel it's presence, or rather, you can't after a few days after application and settling.

I ordered the body glove diamond case, in white. It's very nice, looks good, doesn't add any bulk really, and feels solid. It's on the Tmobile website under accessories for the phone

Yeah its a good case, I like it.

I got one tonight & I love it
If it is like the other Body Glove that has the rubber back it should work out great. I tried case after case and settled on the other Body Glove. I liked it better than the D30. But that's just me..
It's a good looking case.
Does this provide screen protection or i have to purchased screen protector from other sources? I wish to get all protection ready before i getting my galaxy.
Thanks for replying.
this does not come with a screen protector, i wish these $30 tmobile cases came with one. i put in a order for realook screen protector i should be getting it by end of this week.
right.. with tmobiles premium prices
I just wish it wasn't white. That is my only deterrent.

You could probably cover it with some sort of overlay if you wanted to get creative. I have some 3M carbon fiber vinyl that I'm thinking about doing mine with.
The realook screen protector works great with this body glove. No bubbles at all. Took me a couple minutes to fit it on perfectly, since realook cuts it to fit perfectly with the glass
just picked up this case for my wife and her GSII. Great looking case, looks and feels nice. Unfortunately I like it better than my D30 case (mostly because the unlock button is easier to press on the bodyglove)
Ive had it since day one and its kickass!
def. worth it
Hi Guys I see that most people get the Black or White carbon fiber skin protectors so I bought a red one and thought I'd share some of my thoughts/pics in case some of you might be wondering. I think i did a decent job !
I love the way it looks (if you can get over the minor gaps; but if done properly it will look nice) but the back cover looks beautiful
It will protect from scratches but not drops
Feels great in the hands (esp after having a case over it for so long) I love the naked feel
The only thing I worry is if I might accidently rip off the edges while taking it out of my pocket. It has been a few days already and so far it seems to be holding up nicely so getting use to it.
TOP:
You can notice the gaps but it is not too bad, gives it a nice look if properly done

Side 2
You can see that the front area of the buttons are not protected, which kind of irritated me because I was under the impression that it was a full cover.
I am thinking of just getting a bumper now so It protects the sides nicely. Phone feels so light now! Loving it
Anybody have the blue?
Looks good.:good:
It looks pretty good! I like the idea better than the standard covers. I live dangerously with no cover, no screen protector.

The gaps stand off quite a bit, because of the contrast of colours. But it got that Ferrari looks alright.
I have the same skin in black. Very good. Have it for a couple of month and no peeling yet. :good:

I want to get a carbon fiber skin for my Nexus but I too would like the sides covered. I swear I have seen skins that cover the whole side but I dont know who makes them. Obviously not XO Skins
It looks nice on red carbon...

I ordered this from Amazon and it was 3 days late (I am on prime). When I got it, it wasn't what was shown on their amazon site. It didn't come with a micro fiber, dust removal tape, or anything except the screen protectors. The first one was a completely different material and created massive bubbles and was so rough and covered in a white smudge. The second one ended up working like a screen protector should. Overall. I don't know why this happened. I heard so many good things about this brand :/

Hey dude, I own the same exact product. Here is my experience with the screen protectors.
First off, there are two layers of protective plastic. There is one on each face of the protector. In between the two protective films is the actual screen protector. This threw me off at first because I was also getting tons of bubbles and smudges (since I was applying the wrong film). If you cannot distinguish which is the actual screen protector, look for the thickest piece.
As for the missing add-ins, contact Anker. They have great customer service.
Hope I helped!
I know it was a protective film. I removed them both but still didn't work. =/

Definitely contact Anker about this. They will probably send you a new package. There must have been some sort of mistake if it didn't even come with a microfiber cloth, dust removal tape and a bubble removal card.
That's weird. I ordered their Matte protectors twice already and both came on time. You can actually get Amazon to reimburse you if it arrives late. As for the protectors if you use the hinge method they should be bubble free. I received the first one with a little bent corner though but it didn't affect the protector. I also received the cloth and dust remover in both packages. Anker does have amazing customer service though.

I contacted them and said that what I reviewed was from an Amazon warehouse and not them. They are sending a new order ASAP.

I currently have a Nillkin tempered glass screen protector.
Kind of tired of a case (since I almost drop my phone anyway) and am wondering if I could get a skin for my nexus.
Only problem being the fact that I'm pretty sure I can't apply the skin on top of the skin. But what will become of my nillkin? How will I protect my screen if I have a skin on the phone?

I have the same protector and dbrand allow you to order a skin for the back and sides only. Which is what I'm using at the moment

Hello,
Lot's of people have installed SW onto Temper Protectors ranging from .40mm to the thinnest at .10mm. The key is of course to take your time and apply it as instructed. Slickwraps are very forgiving, however it does help to get it right the first time.
As a second option all Slickwraps come with an XD screen protector that fits in the middle of the wrap, thus adding that screen protection.
Always feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

I want the front white though, never liked the whole white on back but black everywhere else design that Google had, it looks ridiculous. All I want is an all white Nexus 5. (Nexus 4 had tempered glass protectors with the bezel areas white, but it seems that doesn't exist for N5).
Interesting Weston, I might give it a try then. If only that XD protector was tempered glass.

Hi! I'm also interested in a good matte screen protector, but til now I only bought reeeeeally cheap protectors on ebay..these are not well cut, but they do the job...
I think the question is, which one of these matte protectors will cause the least distortion/pixelation?
SGP use to have a matte protector called the "Ultra optics" which basically guaranteed 99% clarity. Does anything like that still exist?
I think most of them are just repackaged chinese BS, so you should buy cheapest pack of 10 and change them every 2-3 weeks if they get scratched
I'm using the Anker. Pretty happy with it so far. There's very little graininess/distortion, certainly not enough that it bothers me. There's always going to be a little graininess with any matte protector, but this one seems quite reasonable.

This is the only one I've tried. Still happy with it.
MediaDevil, they're a little pricey but that one is a good protector.
Still grainy but the grain on that protector aren't that visible to me.
I'M using miniguard and feels amazing. Also screen quality not changed at all.
